Where do my ideas come from?
As a child, I was quite the young observer. Things like unusual rocks, shells, discarded scraps of paper, broken toys, seed pods–all were fair game for my collections. I loved to look at the colors, textures, and shapes of found objects and of my surroundings. Visits to museums to view art and artifacts triggered an interest in pursuing my own art. The idea that basic materials could be transformed into beautiful and meaningful objects stayed with me. Today, it drives me to give form to my own creative ideas.
Greenville, South Carolina, our home since 1990, is rich with cultural offerings. In this place there is a synergy between visual art, music, dance, and theatre in combination with the natural beauty of mountain, wood, and water. Each day I experience an abundance of stimulation that generates ideas and compels me to paint. And yes, I still occasionally pick up little “treasures” during my walks!

In Uncanny Terrain, artists Bryce Speed (Tuscaloosa, AL) and Maja Godlewska (Charlotte, NC) paint surreal environments as a means to investigate our relationship with the changing natural world. With abstracted fragments of shape and pattern and color derived from a heightened sensitivity to the environment, the artists help us to reconsider the world around us and our connection to it. Maja Godlewska’s paintings and installations contemplate and defy the instantaneous search for the idyllic landscape. Finding where synthetic and natural realities merge, Bryce Speed paints dream-like environments to chronicle the changing climate as a metaphor for the evolving human self.
Uncanny Terrain is sponsored by OnPoint CFO & Controller Services.
